This is what truly showing up looks like. Showing up does not only involve celebrating and being positive all the time. Sometimes, it involves holding someone accountable for their hurtful actions or sitting with someone in their pain.

Repost from Institute of Child Psychology and from Responsive Parenting Inspirations 💕

"Unfortunately, a lot of parents still believe it’s their child’s behaviour that needs to change, but most often, it is actually the parent’s reaction to the behaviour that needs to change first.

In a lot of cases, parents actually need to change their reaction to their child’s behaviour, if they want the behaviour to change. But what they will find through that journey is often more empathy for their child, a greater emotional capacity for their child’s emotional needs. It often begins as a pursuit to change behaviour and ends up in a deeper understanding of our child’s behaviour and our own."
